Thioglycolic acid-capped CdTexS(1 − x) quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized through a one-step approach in an aqueous medium. The CdTexS(1 − x) QDs played the role of a color conversion center. The structural and luminescent properties of the obtained CdTexS(1 − x) QDs were investigated. The fabricated red light-emitting hybrid device with the CdTexS(1 − x) QDs as the phosphor and a blue InGaN chip as the excitation source showed a good luminance. The Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage coordinates of the light-emitting diode (LED) at (0.66, 0.29) demonstrated a red LED. Results showed that CdTexS(1 − x) QDs can be excited by blue or near-UV regions. This feature presents CdTexS(1 − x) QDs with an advantage over wavelength converters for LEDs.

The production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) from Jiuzao was studied using a two-stage process based on autohydrolysis pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. Jiuzao was autohydrolyzed under conditions where temperature, time, particle size, and solid-liquid ratio were varied experimentally. Optimal XOS production was obtained from Jiuzao with a >20 mesh particle size treated at 181.5 °C for 20 min with a 1:13.6 solid-liquid ratio. Subsequently, optimal enzymatic hydrolysis conditions for xylanase XynAR were identified as 60 °C, pH 5, and xylanase XynAR loading of 15 U/mL. Using these conditions, a yield of 34.2% XOS was obtained from Jiuzao within 2 h. The process developed in the present study could enable effective and ecofriendly industrial production of XOS from Jiuzao.
